Smoke, car and bus exhaust, dust, and humidity combine to create a potent pollution cocktail that impacts skin and hair. According to dermatologists, "pollutants enter the 

pores and cause free-radical damage, which can lead to premature cellular death." Pollution can have a negative impact on the skin's DNA." It's no surprise that the products of city life almost always result in patchy skin, dehydration, dryness, dark spots, and dullness. Beauty companies are rushing to release creams, masks, and sprays that claim to protect our skin and hair from such damage. So much so that the anti-pollution skincare market has grown by 30% in the last six months.

 

So, what should a girl do? Leaving the city and committing to a peaceful life in the countryside may appear to be a good idea, but it is not. Instead of spending a fortune on the plethora of 'anti-pollution products on the market, invest in a high-quality cleanse, and a light but effective SPF cream containing essential antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals and an Anti pollution gel.

Here are the anti-pollution skincare essentials you’ll need to win the battle against free radical damage, repair damaged skin barrier and beat skin-scavenging pollutants for good.

Skin Cleaner 


A facial cleanser is a skincare product that removes make-up, dead skin cells, oil, dirt, and other types of pollutants from the skin, ‌keeping pores clear and preventing skin conditions like acne.


Given the abundance of options, determining the best cleanser can be difficult. Knowing the distinctions between them will assist you in selecting the best products for your skin.


Foam cleansers are lightweight solutions that, when dispensed from a pump package, produce a foamy lather. Foam cleansers are gentle and effective at removing excess oil, making them ideal for combination skin.


Gel cleansers are transparent and have a gel-like consistency. Many have exfoliating and deep-cleaning properties, making them ideal for normal to oily skin.


Cream cleansers are typically thicker and moisturizing, cleansing without stripping skin of its natural oils—perfect for dry or sensitive skin.


Sunscreen 


The sun protection factor (SPF) of a sunscreen represents its ability to protect against a specific portion of ultraviolet (UV) light known as UVB. Sunburns and skin cancer are caused by UVB rays.


Choose a sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 for daily use. If you spend time outside, use a sunscreen with an SPF of 60 or higher. In reality, most people do not apply as much sunscreen as they should, and the higher SPF compensates for this.


Sunscreen is essential for protecting your skin from pollution and UV rays. There isn't enough emphasis here. Choose a sunscreen that is appropriate for your skin type, does not leave a white cast, and does not make your skin feel heavy.


Anti Pollution Gel


In a nutshell, anti-pollution gel acts as a barrier against pollutants, much like sunscreen does for UV rays.


There have been numerous studies* that link pollution to skin conditions such as hives, acne, premature aging, and eczema. Including even one anti-pollution product in your skincare routine will assist you in fighting external aggressors.


The most common mistake we females make is believing that sunscreen is sufficient. Let me be clear: sunscreen can definitely protect you from the sun's UV rays and damage, but what about pollution, which dulls your entire face?


This is where anti-pollution products, which are just as important as sunscreen, come in. Use an anti-pollution product that is gel-based and easily absorbed in your skin to avoid making your skin cakey with all of those products. To make your skin glow, use a product that contains Citric Acid. 


Most girls have a good night skincare routine, but we recommend you develop a good day skincare routine in order to have radiant skin that glows and, most importantly, is healthy. Concentrate on the pollution factor in your life and use products that are required to prevent damage.
